Sushi

After seeking refuge at Benny's restaurant last night (a place owned and visited by many westerners), we ventured forth to Shinagawa for sushi. First we visited a food festival where lots of people were shouting about their stuff in words we don't understand. Then we took the subway to Yokohama station where we took the train to Shinagawa. It was quite crowded on the way back and I had to laugh because I was taller than a majority of the people in the train. We visited 2 temples before going to the sushi restaurant where my parents are well known because they go there every other saturday. I enjoyed 2 cucumber rolls, and I tried shrimp and crab (both cooked) which were not bad. They gave us complimentary bowls of soup which I actually kind of liked, they sort of tasted like artichokes even though they were full of seaweed. Now it's time to relax. I wanted to join Netflix so we could rent movies online (now that they have the instant view thing) but apparently they don't allow that for people in Japan so I've been searching for movies to watch online somehow, not easy. I am proud of myself though for eating sushi, even if it was cooked. One baby step at a time....
